RIP - and an extremely complicated succession based on male agnatic primogeniture: sons of a monarch go before grandsons of a monarch, meaning that a brother is higher in succession than a son. To translate it to Britain, the line of succession would be:

Charles
Andrew
Edward
William
Harry
James
George
